We braved the pandemic and went to Spiaggia for special dinner to celebrate my birthday. We were seated by the window as originally requested where we had the view of the Michigan Avenue and the small park across the street.We noticed all the extra precaution to make sure that we were safe. All people working have their masks and gloves on. We were also required to wear mask everytime the servers came to serve us.We did the tasting menu which includes 6 courses. Everything were great! The food were so tasty and there's so much variety on each course. From the bread up to the dessert and everything in between were great tasting! For each bite, you could taste different flavors that blended we...
The last time I dined at Spiaggia was 4 years ago, before the remodel and while the jackets required rule still existed. This visit seemed like I was dining at an entirely different restaurant. All the things I loved most were gone: the formal dress with big comfy seats, the lovely bread service and dedicated water server. Whoever was in charge of the finishing salt was very heavy handed; I 'd say 5/6 dishes were too salty. Overall, everything was fine and Spiaggia is blending well into the average dining scene. But when you spend $300+ dinner for two at a Tony Montano restaurant, you expect more.
Tough review to write. Honestly the kitchen is just letting the rest of the staff down. We were hoping for a world class meal and ready to spend $500 plus to get it. There were some highlights, calamari done great, great bread. And that was kinda it. Moments of just lousy like halibut, fava beans, purée, risotto, turnips. Compared to their tasting menu peers we experienced in Chicago, not even sorta kinda close. I don’t want to be mean but the food was average to bad enough to make signing the $380 check tough. Staff tried hard and were totally nice.
The food is great here, but I was charged $60 for making a reservation. This is absolutely ridiculous for a restaurant to charge customers to make a reservation especially when they show up. Think twice before making a reservation.
